EU/Turkey Relations in the Shadows of Crisis: A Break-Up or Revival?

by A. Asli Bilgin (Editor), Fatmanur Kaçar Asci (Contribution by), Harun Arikan (Contribution by), A. Asli Bilgin (Contribution by), Asli Emine Çomu (Contribution by)

Overview

Since Turkey’s EU accession has arguably come to a halt with the freezing of several negotiation chapters in 2005, Turkey and the European Union have been through many internal and global crises. As a result of these crises, while the priorities of both parties have changed, EU–Turkey relations advance still at a snail’s pace rather than totally breaking down. EU/Turkey Relations in the Shadows of Crisis: A Break-Up or Revival? aims to challenge the future of the relations between the European Union and Turkey by discussing the impact of the crises on not only the parties involved but also on their relations by displaying both imperfections in the EU/Turkey association and the future cooperation/accession alternatives between the European Union and Turkey.

Editorial Reviews

A. Aslı Bilgin’s book takes the reader along the tortuous road of Turkey’s European journey, a road riddled with political, economic, and legal bumps that have shaped and continue to affect the EU–Turkey relationship to this day. It is a must-read for all those with an interest in what is undoubtedly one of, if not the most, important relationships in the wider European space.”

Nathalie Tocci

Turkey has been through a radical transformation process since the early 2000s. This transformation has had its ups and downs. In the first five years, we have seen a virtuous cycle of developments Turning Turkey into a democratic, economically prosperous and emerging power with her strong commitment to the European integration. Paradoxically, the relations between the two sides have chnaged due to many reasons such as the Merkel effect, the Sarkozy effect, the global financial crisis and others. This book eloquently elaborates the relations between the two sides since the enactment of the association agreement. The book delves into several different fields such as security, migration, mobility, economics, trade, populism and environment. This edited volüme deserves a great welcome to the field of Turkey-E.U. Relations and European Studies with its interdisciplinary perspective.
